Redoing braids one by one as needed--as soon as they got loose, particularly along the hairline.
Ensuring I use less extension hair per section of my own.
Avoiding the base when applying conditioner during my wash so that I don't get product build up that can lead to knotting at the base.
I don't use any products as leave-ins (not moisturizers or sprays). I don't think this is necessarily a good thing, but it works for me. I hate the feel of product on my hair.
I baggy every night.
I keep the same regimen I had when I didn't have extensions in: wash and condition twice a week (one of those conditioning being a DC) and end every wash with an ACV rinse.
Dust about 1/4 inch (That's about this much __ ) every 6-8 weeks during one of the braid redoing sessions. I undo a braid, dust, then rebraid.
I use fingers to undo my braids, never a comb, coz I can feel for tangles and ensure I move slow enough not to cause any.
When I first cut my first set of locs, I wore braids for like 90% of the time. In 2 years I went from 1/4 inch of hair to shoulder length stretched.
All I did was wash and condition as normal. Once per week. To reduce frizz, I oiled the braids and tied down with a scarf and let them dry overnight. Taking them down I coated with oil and combed them out. I never tied or glued the ends. When I took them out, I'd DC my hair wear a fro or twists for like a week then get them done again.
